Old Croghan Man

Who is Old Croghan Man?

Old Croghan Man is the name given to a well-preserved Iron Age bog body found in an Irish bog in June 2003. The remains are named after Croghan Hill, north of Daingean, County Offaly, near where the body was found. The find is on display in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. Old Croghan Man was found three months after a similar find in County Meath. The County Meath find was named Clonycavan Man, and noted for the "gel" found in his hair.
